Our very own DC area startup, Mixx from VA, has patnered with the LA Times according to this report from VentureBeat. Mixx will be used on the LA Times online site in much the same fashion Digg has been integrated into other newspaper sites. The post also references the fact that teh LA Times has invested an undisclosed amount into Mixx as well.
There do seem to be some naysyaers out there, evidence this post from Mathew Ingram. While he says he likes the look of MIxx, he is not sure of the reasoning behind it and if the move makes sense.
Hopefully this type of transaction gets a little more mojo going in the area for our other talented start ups out there.
Congrats Mixx, keep up the great work and good luck.

Great to see DC startups get good press. Don’t forget to vote for them at Mashable’s Open Web Awards for Social Media sites.
